Words don't seem to
come so easy
when I need them
oh so badly
Here's to playing
tug of war
with my vocal chords
Maybe I can give this another
shot or sing about a broken
heart or imitate
the way it feels
if this is happening—
This distance
seems closer
when you shove it in my face
This moment's left me
with nothing else—
I'm losing my interest
with these empty pages
They're torn
they have frayed edges
This dusty book
is bothered by my rusty eye
and I can't see
No I can't breathe
Put me on the
next page outta here
to live forever on this paper
Capture this void
and fill it with the frenzy
in my voice
Killing time by drawing faces
that stare back at me
from the margins
In the sea of
eight and a half by elevens
I'm drowning in
Treading through
run-on sentences
and sinking into empty text
I'll swallow the salt
then spit a few dry words out
This distance
seems closer
when you shove it in my face
This moment's left me
with nothing else—
I'm losing my interest
with these empty pages
They're torn
they have frayed edges
This dusty book
is bothered by my rusty eye
and I can't see
No I can't breathe
Put me on the
next page outta here
to live forever on this paper
Capture this void
and fill it with the frenzy
in my voice
No matter what I say
no matter what I write here
I'm sick of always looking
at this page with a blank stare
You never seem to know
and they never seem to tell you
Words don't always come as easily
as you might want them to
No matter what I say
no matter what I write here
I'm sick of always looking
at this page with a blank stare
You never seem to know
and they never seem to tell you
Words don't always come as easily
as you might want them to
To throw
this paper
into fire
and take me with it
Just take me with it
Throw
this paper
into fire
into fire yeah
Throw
this paper
into fire
into this fire
Throw
this paper
into fire
and throw me with it
Just throw me with it
